I have mixed feelings about these. We use them often and they are pretty good, but there are a few issues that annoy me:
1) Battery charging is a bit random. Sometimes it will stay charging for hours, then you unplug it and plug it back in again, and it says it is now full charged.
2) The battery low notification sometimes comes on after an hour (after being fully charged), but then it doesn’t seem to run out of battery, so it is annoying to not know if it is really low or not
3) They are splash proof but don’t submerge them for anything more than a few seconds. We now put ours in waterproof phone cases when they will be underwater a lot (the water previously leaked through the USB port on one of them).
4) Once submerged the mic doesn’t work well, so this is another reason to keep them in a waterproof case, as it is a lot easier to hear each other.
Range varies a lot with height. Around 500m if close to the water, and easily over 1km if standing up (even when behind hills/buildings). Aside from the above we have used them for 100s of hours and generally they work very well. With the encoded channels, I have never picked up interference.
Hohe Reichweite und tolle Qualit
Meine Kinder lieben diese Funkgerte. Sie sind hochwertig, qualitativ perfekt und haben eine groe Reichweite sowie eine tolle Sound Qualitt. Einfach zu bedienen und dank der Aufladung ber USB, bentigt man keine Batterien.
Purchased these back in 2019, and they are still working well. They are well made and are easy to use. I am not an expert on Walkie-Talkies but these seem to have a good range and have good sound. I don’t use them all of the time, but they are quite handy on holiday – particularly as they are waterproof. In Cornwall for example, when the tide was out, I could be at the waters edge, and the family way back on the shore and we could keep in touch. Have also just stayed in a converted water tower, and I could keep in contact with the family below, whilst I sat on the roof. Another great use, is the “voice activated” function. When I am in the garden and expecting a visitor, I put one one voice activated and sit it next to the front doorbell. The other is with me in the garden, and when someone calls, I know (yes I know smart doorbells do this, but I don’t have one). One thing, you are not going to get “miles” of range from these, but for most uses, they are great – highly recommended
We have used several of these radios for our business. We have always found them to be excellent radios. Reliable, good reception, clear and easy to use however, the last batch appeared to have faulty batteries. When I emailed the seller I received a response within 15 minutes. Replacement batteries were sent out that evening and received next day. You couldnt have asked for a better service. I would still recommend these radios and most definitely the selle
Perfect for life outdoors
Excellent range of features. Sturdy, well built and will take the rough and tumble of life on out doors. IP rating and water safety features means you don’t have to take care of them as you would your phone. Keys tones and squelch can be switched off to make for a less jarring experience in quieter situations. Battery life is good, but recharge is slow so plug them in regularly. First full charge was surprising long. Leave them plugged as soon as they arrive and wait, perhaps 24 hours or more! Would recommend
Decent but..
We used this in cars following each other but we didnt get the distance, which in fairness may be because a car is a bit of a Farraday cage so may have limited the range. Also took ages to charge but not sure why.. Sound quality was okay. Good build quality and if you are using this within 1-2 Km its probably more than fine.
A pretty good radio, range isn’t as good as my friend’s cheap Baofeng’s but it was trying to transmit through several concrete walls and structural steel so should be good for most uses.
Weatherproofing seems to work well, certainly gives piece of mind when it starts raining while I’m working.
Takes quite a while to charge: Have to leave them on overnight plugged into the kitchen usb outlets.
Important note: If you leave them in a cold place overnight then go to use them you may find the speakers to be very quiet. Just open the weatherproof seal on the charging port and it will release the air pressure and return the volume to normal.
Brought these to a music festival because phones rarely work and they were fantastic. Great range and Batteries lasted 2 days of solid use. Easily got 3-4Km range from campsite to main arena
Great but slow to charge
Does what you would expect. Easy to use and solid build quality.
They float well and the light does light up when in water.
The charger seems to take a day or so to bring them up to what I think is full charge.
Would recommend. Tested in the middle of London and the range was almost a mile with lots of buildings and stuff in the way.
We (family of 7) went to Portugal last summer for holidays. We has 2 rental cars and this 20way walkie talkie became very handy for communicating between the 2 cars. Excellent battery life and super clear sound.
Sturdy but microphone is so so.
Easy to use and great looking. Need to get the microphone very close to the mouth and speak loudly to be heard. Battery life is so so, and it takes several hours to charge.
Fab item
Brought these for my 4 year old son. He is into more grown up things and these were just great for him. They sound great and are easy for him to use. They look great and the battery life is good. They are also just the right size. Great item.
Got for grandchildre
I bought this for an 8 yr old, and they are a great hit, so sturdy and easy to use. I’m sure they are meant for serious work, but being waterproof is a great bonus for kids.
They have linked them to the different set the neighbours have so 4 boys have great fu
Work well .
The distance quoted is obviously less in built up areas, but pretty good in the countryside. The only thing that I disliked, was that I asked the seller a question regarding the items and didn’t receive any response.
Tolles Walkietalkie um mit aufs Wasser zu nehme
Wollte mir schon immer mal ein Walkietalkie zulegen. nicht weil ich es unbedingt brauchte, viel mehr weil ich es aus meiner Kindheit her kenne und damals die Dinger nicht wirklich haltbar waren aber dennoch sehr viel Spa bereitet haben, zumindest habe ich dies in Erinnerung.
Nun ja, da ich des fteren mit dem Kajak unterwegs bin und auch manchmal unter Tage mich fortbewege, und zumindest letzteres das Nutzen eines Mobiltelefons gleich erst garnicht funktioniert, da kein Satelitenempfang, musste einfach mal ein Walkietalkie her. Fr mich kam nur das wasserdichte Motorola H20 in Frage, einfach wegen der guten Feuchtigkeitsresistenz und der ntzlichen Taschenlampenfunktion. Schon nach dem ersten Auspacken musste ein erster Test her. ich poitionierte mich im 9. Stock meines wohlgemerkt Plattenbaus, und mein Kumpel ging nach drauen neun Stockwerke weiter unten. Die Verstndigung war super und keinerlei strende Nebengerusche waren zu hren. Wrde fast sogar noch das Handy toppen.
beim ersten wirklichen Praxistest auf dem Wasser musste ich leider einige Abstriche hinnehmen. dies lag aber wahrscheinlich an meiner eigenen Dummheit. So lag das walkietalkie also auf dem Bootsrumpf gut ein Meter von mir entfernt flach auf und bekam natrlich gelegentlich reichlich Wasser ab, Die Antenne zeigte natrlich auch nur flach horizontal in eine Richtung, was natrlich den Empfang erheblich einschrngte und schlielich dafr sorgte, dass ich kaum was entziffern konnte und umgedreht die anderen auch von mir kaum was hrten.
Anschlieend habe ich noch die Gerte unter den Wasserhahn gehalten um sie wieder sauber zu machen und sie liefen dann wieder einwandfrei. Ich glaube das Problem war nur, dass die Gerte nicht aufrecht und vor allem zu weit weg waren von der Sprachquelle, so dass man kaum was hren konnte.
Trotzdem finde ich sie sehr gut und ich bin sicher, sie werden noch viele gute Dienste errichten in Zukunft.
Nachtrag: Inzwischen ist mir eine Sache aufgefallen, die ich ziemlich blde finde und die auch dazu fhrt, dass der Stromverbrauch hher ist als normal, nmlich die Wassersensoren unten sprechen sofort an bei nur kleinster Menge Wasser und dann blinkt die Taschenlampenfunktion ununterbrochen bis der Wassersensor getrocknet ist. Dies ist erstens ungnstig, weil man stndig von dem Lampengeblinke gestrt ist und 2. ist das Akku dann schneller leer. Ich habe nun die Sensoren unten einfach mit DucktTape zugeklebt und nun funktioniert alles tadellos. kleiner Hinweis an die Hersteller, vielleicht baut ihr diese Sensoren irgendwo anders hin an die Oberseite oder so, dass dies Blinklicht nur angeht, wenn das Gert wirklich ins Wasser fllt und nicht schon nur bei geringem Wasserkontakt am Boden.
Ansonsten tolles Gert und selbst nach 2 maligem runterfallen immer noch voll betriebsfhig
Brilliant!!
We used these in the lake district without any issues, even from 5 miles away hill to ground. Like any radio that has low output power, these won’t punch through dense objects or hills. They are waterproof, robust and well made. Battery life could be worked on by using Lithiums, but you can recharge the supplied batteries by USB very easily, and if you run out you can use AA’s. Very pleased with the purchase, they do exactly what they said they would, and they are miles and miles ahead of the cheap ones you find on Amazon. I have dropped them, got them wet, and they have always worked. Ok so they colour, yes I am not a fan I would have preferred at least an option other than yellow. Great purchase.
Excellent, robust, waterproof pm
A bit chunky but feel very well made. I have had them clipped to a buoyancy aid while paddle boarding and they work beautifully. They have been submerged for extended periods while swimming also and all good.
Only pain is the flashing light when exposed to water. If this could be switched off they would be perfect.
Range is well over 3 miles and the battery life seems to be for ever. I’ve used them for hours and still don’t need charged.
Well worth the money if you are looking for a robust pm
check the batteries!
good overall, but one of the pair of batteries only charges to two bars and not three bars like the other one.
it is clearly faulty, but i wasnt ready to use them straight away which meant i couldn’t return them/it by the time i realised.
in summary, check both batteries charge fully as soon as you receive the item.
Well packaged and good quality.
The radios were delivered on time. It was easy to put the batteries in and they were fully charged. They were given to my grandson as a present he is pleased with them. He has not had them long enough to comment on use and battery life.
Good, but with a few shortcomings
I brought these to use whilst sailing, much easier than shouting from one end of the boat to the other. On the whole they are good consumer grade radios, but for my use their are a couple of downsides.
Pros:
USB charging
Floats
Cons:
Not loud enough, volume only goes to 7, but at that level it is difficult to hear above a boat engine
No longer waterproof if you plugin a speaker mic or headset in
Mic connection is on top, so if you lean forward, the cord pulls out
Expect I will end up replacing these with some commercial grade radios.
Bought these as a present for my little brother who lives in another house a whole town away as a ‘cool’ way to talk to him. I was skeptical it was going to make the distance (2.82km as the crow flies) over the valley, woods, and buildings that separated our towns but to my pleasant surprise, it did! As long as he was outside and I was sat by my window his voice transmitted almost crystal clear! I am very impressed, to say the least. The only downside to these walkie talkies is the battery life. Sometimes the batteries last for what seems forever, however, sometimes they also died when the batteries were half full. Standard AA batteries also seem to last longer than the ones provided. It might be worth buying other rechargeable AA batteries and using them instead.
Water and bump proof. Floatible and no scary noise at the end of transmission. What not to like? 🙂
When used with comercial PMR rafios the latter one were making annoying RF/FM noise at the end of every transmission (not a roger beep). T92 are not making such noise when transmitting to other T92 or commercial PMR (tested with Motorola XT660D and Kenwood 3601). Interesting that both commercial models are making this noise when transmitting to T92 but not when transmitting to other commercial PMR (xt660d to 3601 or 3601 to xt660d).
Back to Motorola T92: really nice sound quality, dropping it on concrete shouldn’t damage it. No range problems in whole our house and garden. Not yet tested outside due to C19 lockdown.
Son loves it and so we do. Highly recommended!
Some advantages over comercial PMRs (Motorola XT etc.):
– you can use alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries (ie. if provided battery packet died)
– you don’t need to carry additional charger – it’s charged via standard small usb connection so you can use whatever charger or power bank you have (although xt660d have usb psu but still you need to tske its desktop charger)
– better waterproof class than xt660d
If you look PMR only for business or home (no trips, hiking, playing with children etc) then you may consider commercial XT series:
– desktop charger
– Li-Ion battery
– digital PMR mode (lower sound quality but on higher distance it is eliminating annoing loud noise)
– more things programmable via PC software but usually less on device itself
– Kenwood 3601 is much more smaller and lighter so easy can be carried in pocket while T92 and XT are rather on rugged big and bulky side.
grips of T92:
– not too sensitive vox – not enough to monitor small baby if some wanders
– I’d prefer to see more VOX sensitivity levels ie. 10 instead of just 3
– big size
– no desktop charger
FYI: original Motorola earpiece works fine. other no-name one was disconnecting itself way to often, so if you experience similar problem look for orginal earpiece
Warning: if you decide to use different batteries – check if they are still floating before you assume so (as per instruction on battery compartment lid)
The models that I received this weekend (April 2020) are 16 channels (the front grill is also slightly different to the picture).
They came with 8 channels enabled but there’s a simple procedure explained in the user manual to enable channels 9-16). Press MENU then press and hold + and – at the same time for 3 seconds and “16CH” will be displayed. You’ve then got channels 1 – 16 (plus the 121 ‘privacy codes’ per channel) to choose from in the menu.
Don’t usually review something like this so quickly but a weekend of playing with these around the house and in the woods has impressed me.
Not exactly tested the range at all yet but the battery life seems good, they’re very robust and will stand up to a few knocks and scrapes which is great if a small child is going to be playing with them.
The menu system is very easy to navigate and intuitive, no real need for the instruction manual.
Perhaps by modern walkie talkie standard they’re a little chunky (and heavy) but they are obviously waterproof, so understandable.
great radios
I bought 2 sets of these for use when sailing in the scout group and they work great.
We have on a few occasions unwillingly testing their waterproof status and they they are waterproof, they also float with a flashing light.
disappointingly though when the radio does get wet the speaker can temporarily fail and needs washing under the tap (i guess to get the salt water off) and then dried properly, if this isn’t done the sound out of the speaker is reduced to a whisper. the radios also don’t float with the light facing up, this is down to the weight being in the body and not the aerial but if floating it minimises the view.
Still happy though and when they next drop in price i will be getting some more for work
